Looking good.

I'd rather go for WD drives though...Seagate nerfing the hell out of their warranties does not inspire confidence. I suspect the Seagates will sell better though. :/

Does the last one really need a 800W psu?

WD also cut their HDD warranties over December, so It really doesn't matter, and although I prefer WD to Seagate, most parents/gamers will know the seagate brand better than the wd brand.

As for the Psu, That Psu offers insane value for money, I could go lower but it really won't alter the price that much, also guys buying high end rigs really want high wattage psu's.

Thanx hun :)


These are just from the Enthusiast line..There will be many different models available.
The Custom enthusiast line is my favorite, Those are the ones that'll have custom paint, custom cut panels, custom interiors.
Looking to do a couple of themed pc's as well :)

Will look into that for you bud.

I have a meeting set up for next week, going to see a couple places that do laser, plasma and hydra cutting.
Busy designing my own in house chassis with the help of a friend.
 
I think the idea of a custom/themed rig will appeal to a shitload of gamers to be honest. The ultra enthusiast range as well, I mean go big or go home is almost like a gamers motto, lol.

Good luck with the venture ...... it's scary starting something you're in charge of but it's very rewarding too.

Thanx bud, much appreciated.

Yeah just wanna do something different and the themed rigs will probably be the biggest sellers :D
Lots of planning has gone into this, just gotta stick it out and work my butt off lol


After Ultra high end there is another range of enthusiast rigs.
I am still working on the details of those..but they start at R30 000 and the sky is the limit xD

Pre over clocked and different cooling like water or set of aftermath coolers ?
Click to expand...

There will be Pre overclocked rigs, and the Fatality range will come with custom watercooling, custom cut panels, custom powder coating. The pc's will be divided into 5 groups. Each group targeting a different section of the market.


Enthusiast Gaming Rigs
Fatality Gaming Rigs
Themed Gaming Rigs
Custom office Rigs
Video editing + Encoding Rigs

Pretty much all the rigs will have the custom options available, and customers are more than welcome to "Build their own rigs" To their specs.

Each Range of rigs will have a set price range. Then custom options can be added. For instance if someone buys a Darkness rig, they'll pay R9000, if they then want custom options added, Custom cut panel with uv sleeving, They'll be looking in the region of R11 000 for Darkness + Custom options.

There is really no limit to what I can do, it really depends on how much customers want to spend.

There will also be a range of closed loop water coolers and air coolers available, Starting at a
Antec Khuler 620 and going up to Corsair H100
Hyper 212 Evo and going up to Noctua NH-D14


A lot of people don't really know what they want, so they'll give me a budget of lets say R15 000 and tell me its for their 15 year old son, and he is into car racing/anime or whatever the case may be, so I'll select a high end rig and do a themed rig for him, going with top of the range products and also giving the rig a custom theme and custom built feel.

If I manage to save up some money (which I find pretty much impossible :p) I might be very interested in buying a rig from you more or less end of April. Darkness rig in particular has caught my eye. I definitely need a new gaming PC and would love to support a fellow forum member.

The only problem is saving up the money, especially with all the games releasing in Feb and March. Here's to hoping I can stick to my new year's resolution of only buying one (new) game a month.

Id really recommend a 4 core phenom setup with a 5870 or 6870 as a good entry level gaming rig. I can promise you those will sell the best.
 
Thanx for all the comments guys :)

Cranky I totally agree, unfortunately its becoming hard to get hold of those cpu's and same goes for the Tuban cpu's. production is slowing on them so the prices won't drop. I am working on some AMD only rigs at the moment :)
 
cool man.. did you get the pm from addamm? he is looking to buy a rig and think he really needs your help.
